It works like an endorsement, but since you are checked out in a particular aircraft you are therefore "rated"
Not to be confused with a type rating though...
And in some countries if you get checked out in a certain aorcrat, say a Cessna 210, you are automatically checked out in a Cessna 172 even though you may never have flown an hour in one.
Mattpilot, good link.Here`s another one;
www.fly-alaska.com
It gives you all the names and phone #`s of all operators in the state.
Anyone else got one?
